BOYS BASKETBALL CANCELLATION UNACCEPTABLE

For the second time in a month, the Saturday morning Maplewood South Orange youth basketball program at Maplewood Middle School was canceled due to a scheduling issue.

And it appears no one knew about this, for the second time, until this morning.

Yesterday, parents received this reminder:

****REMINDER****

MAPLEWOOD RECREATION SATURDAY MORNING BASKETBALL RESUMES TOMORROW, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 16 AT 9:00AM FOR 3RD AND 4TH GRADE BOYS, 9:45AM FOR 5TH GRADE BOYS, AND 11:00AM FOR 3RD-5TH GRADE GIRLS.

Then, when they showed up today, they saw this notice, without explanation:

Finally, later in the day, this email came out.

WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVIENENCE, BUT TODAYS BASKETBALL HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO A SCHEDULING ISSUE WITH THE GYMNASIUM. 

THERE WILL BE NO BASKETBALL TODAY SATURDAY FEBRUARY 16.

THANK YOU

Scheduling conflict is not a valid excuse twice when people have paid money and made arrangements. Doesn't someone schedule these things at the beginning of the season?
